Upanishads say:~ "He who thinks he knows, does not know." This means that to know anything implies a second, an object of knowledge, hence duality, i.e., no Gnana.
Tripura Rahasya, 18: 89:~ Second-hand knowledge of the Self gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realisation will do that. Realise yourSelf, turning the mind inward.
By saying I know the truth, I know Brahman is not wisdom. The Truth is found only in the Unity of understanding that is the knowledge of both the Matter and Spirit. That is, the Matter and the Spirit are one in essence. That essence is the Spirit, which is present in the form of the Soul or consciousness.
The seeker must begin his analysis with the world, which confronts him not with the Soul, which he is still unaware of.
In the world in which he exists, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the finality. The Soul is the witness of the world in which you exist. But to realize this truth, you must examine and study the nature of the ‘I’.
There is a wide gulf between the yogis and Gnanis' realization. The yogi never bothers to examine the world in which he exists because, for him, his Samadhi is final, whereas a Gnani has realized the world in which he exists is nothing but the consciousness.
For Gnani, nothing remains to be known for him because he has realized there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.
For Gnani, the world in which he exists is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
When one knows matter and spirit together, one has “Gnana or wisdom." One must have the humility to get to the very root of the matter. :~Santthosh Kumaar
